I Want the Answer

Traditional computers have always had difficulty in finding a single, precise answer to a question. This is because computers have trouble communicating in the same natural language as humans. If we can teach a computer to play Jeopardy!, this same technology could also deliver answers to questions in many real-world industries.

“A computer needs to know how to think. It needs to know how to speak properly. It needs to know how to answer questions.”
